i think that he doesnt give as much as he should and while him and Carberry look so good together, it mightnt be a good thing..

True, but i can't imagine 'Harchi' becoming friends with any jockeys who could be described at McCoy-esque

Quite brilliant today.

It's a real shame he doesn't find much off the bridle, because he would surely win the champion hurdle every year.

Imagine how good he'd be if he found another gear when he was asked to

Couldn't understand why Katchit was SO short today, these second season hurdlers nearly always struggle when taking on the older horses and i think Katchit will fund it very hard in the championship races this season.

Similar to Detroit last year, you can easily rack up wins in the juvenile division, but it is a massive leap up to championship quality. There are few sights as good in racing as Harchibald swinging along on the bridle ready to cosily win. I had the biggest bet of my life on him when he won the Bula a few years ago..

Harchi makes you think. Although he jumped the last still hard held, i wasn't sure if he'd win. He's probably the only horse you could say that about. Even jumping the last i thought Al Eile might just battle him out of it.

I wish i had watched the in-running betting, i doubt too many people were wanting to risk too much on him even jumping the last.

Out of all the hurdlers running at the moment, i don't think i could name one who has as much ability as he does, well Inglis Drever perhaps (two completely different horses).

I'd love to see a race made for these bridle horses. That would be some sight. Harchibald Vs Black Jack Ketchum jumping the last both hard held. What happens? discuss.
